Different Worlds Summon Day 212 [Princess's Depression]:

"... I wonder what it is..."

Princess Lupis glances out the window of the king's capital Pireus' chamber.

The pure white dress had a wide open chest that made her beauty stand out enough.

Until the other day, he put on his armor and is such a lady gesture that he does not seem to be the same person as the woman he called General Princess.

But her eyes, full of worry, had struck down the element of brightness from her beauty.

"Phew..."

A big sigh leaked out of her mouth.

Outside the window, they say the hustle and bustle of the people is so vibrant and rising that it reaches the castle.

Everyone in the people is inflating their hopes that the civil unrest will end and Princess Lupis' rule will begin.

The civil unrest in the Kingdom of Roselia ended when Hodrum Ahreberg and his family were taken over by Elena's sword.

There are parts of Hodrum who joined the rebellion on the way, and there is no doubt about the survival of the true mastermind, the Duke of Gerhardt, but by taking Hodrum's neck, it is to say that he kept his mentes as the Kingdom of Roselia.

The civil unrest is over. A month is about to pass today.

But Princess Lupis, who was supposed to be full of hope, her heart was dominated by certain troubles.

"Father...... does Lupis deserve the king of this country?... I will be so lost in one treatment of that man..."

Many times, I ask my dead father.

That said, there's no way a dead person could have answered her question already.

A question to my father that you can't possibly answer.

Its actions are a clear representation of her mind.

"Phew..."

A deep sigh leaked out of her mouth again.

"Your Highness..."

Meltina looked sadly at the figure.

With the crowning of Lupis, her appointment to the Knights of Kingsguard has been confirmed.

I would have to do your job, but she was still with me as Lupis' assistant.

(... it still hurts... to let Lord Mikhail be discreet... but I can't support His Highness on my own...)

There is no big difference between Meltina and Mikhail from what I can do with my head.

But the age difference of 10 can't be surprisingly foolish.

Mikhail is better at influencing the knights.

Even though the civil unrest is over and it is certain that he will be king of Roselia, the power base is still unstable.

It was natural to wish to consolidate the regime in a person who could be trusted at all.

But Mikhail, at the heart, is now cautious in his own mansion in the Wang capital.

The civil unrest ended and Lord Gerhardt handed Mikhail's figure over to Lupis.

Naturally Lupis and Meltina thought of it as a return to office, but that was impossible on the boulders.

Nothing, Ryo Jin didn't do something.

Mikhail was originally put off punishment.

It has been missed in the name of offsetting it with future achievements.

For the second failure, Lupis and Meltina were also more indefensible to Mikhail than their pursuits from the Count of Bergston and the nobles who were former bystanders.

"Hey... can't I reinstate Mikhail?... you can demote... can't you be discreet?

From Lupis, this hits Meltina a dozen times.

Mikhail has been discreetly disposed of for more than half a month.

Then it's a recurring question.

Meltina shook her head silently as she pushed and killed the sigh to leak.

"No matter how much Your Highness says, I can't do that... no matter how discreet I am, it is the mountains that I would like to give you..."

I also want to fulfill Lupis' wishes as a Mertina.

I don't think Mikhail was there to help solve the problem, but since I can trust Lupis as a spiritual support, it's the same with Meltina that I'd like to reinstate him if I could.

But I couldn't agree cheaply in the present situation.

From the point of view of reason, I have a problem with Princess Lupis' behavior.

No matter how many knights I trust, there was no reason to say that I would not dispose of any human being who was failing twice.

The first failure in the form of Kale's measures could still be addressed, but the second failure was said to be fatal.

Even temporarily, he was taken prisoner by a dictatorial statement that ignored the orders of his superiors.

Moreover, it is also a cut-off to change the original plan and to deprive the Duke of Gerhardt of the opportunity to execute him.

There was even a voice among executives that said they should be executed.

I could say that it was impossible to unravel the prudence of its Mikhail, even as Princess Lupis.

Because it is an act that could rock the regime for her, who has not yet firmly established her power base.

"Yes... right... I'm sorry, Martina. Say you can't..."

Lupis fully understands that, too.

The problem lies where she is not convinced by the emotional part, even if she understands it with her head.

Mertina had no choice but to sigh in her heart.

"Well, the Mikhail thing is fine... what's happening with the example thing more than that?

Lupis changes his mind and asks Meltina.

Because the only problem she has is not with Mikhail.

"It's about Lord Goshiba... still as I thought... both nobles and knights are expected to rebel... I can't even push him in as much as a knight in the troop leader class, but when it comes to a position commensurate with his accomplishments..."

"Yes..."

Lupis skewed his face to Mertina's answer.

The problem concerns Ryo Shiba's future treatment.

In the first covenant, they are to say that after helping Princess Lupis, the Kingdom of Roselia will prove their innocence by acting as their backward shield.

And after it's proven, they're supposed to leave this country.

Immediately after the end of the civil unrest, Lupis has sent letters explaining the situation to guilds everywhere as Princess of Roselia.

As a result, it has already been acknowledged that there is no loss to Ryo Shiba and his companions.

The only dissatisfaction was that Guildmaster Walth Heineckel of the port town of Fulzard could not prove his malice and that he was not punished in any way due to administrative procedural mistakes, but he would have had to be around here.

If you believe Gerhard's testimony, it seems it was Kale who made all the arrangements.

Now that Kale was also killed because of Ryo Makoto, it was extremely difficult to find both testimony and evidence.

As a nearby guild master, I can't pursue my colleague Walth without proof.

In fact, I couldn't help it.

However, the promise made to Lupis has already been fulfilled beyond Ryo Jin-taek's innocence.

No matter when they leave, no one can stop them.

But they remain in the castle of Pireus, the king's capital.

That's because Lupis hoped until the crowning ceremony was over.

"The knight's reaction is still not good... there are many negative opinions coming from both, prestigious and civilian origins..."

"Sooo..."

"Again, it accounts for a lot of people who can put people who are not Roselian nationals in important posts of defence... well I don't even know if you really think so, but it doesn't even make sense to snort... it's just that if so many men were to join the Knights, there would surely be one less important post. It's just disturbing for a person aiming for an upper position, so I know that kind of emotion is included..."

Lupis' face clouds in Mertina's words.

She is afraid of Ryo Shiba.

It had grown to the point that she was overwhelmingly disadvantaged, overflowing from her heart now that she had made her crowning ceremony present as the new queen of the Kingdom of Roselia.

"I do not want to take that man, even if I were you, to a knight who would serve near His Highness...... that man has no respect or loyalty to His Highness or to the Kingdom of Roselia...... that man only moves for himself...... I have seen and felt that way about that man over the past few months. At least it's too dangerous to use it as a shield to protect the royal family as a knight."

Ryo Misaki has a high appreciation for his true abilities.

That can be confirmed by the fact that he has received similar recognition from people who are negative for his knight registration.

So I was able to get a knight or a knight if I only had the strength.

But if it becomes credible, it will drop as soon as possible.

The knight is the shield and sword of the kingdom.

It is the necessary force for the king to control the country.

What if that force is ruled by a man you can't trust?

Back to the days of General Hodrum.

The king becomes a puppet and the country is disturbed.

Lupis must rebuild his country from now on.

Yet there is no way that a man whose loyalty to the royal family is called into question can be taken by a knight or anything else.

This can be said to be a common opinion both by herself and by the heads of kingdom.

"But... you can't just let him out of the country like this! Absolutely not! … if he is enrolled in another country…"

Lupis vandalizes and denies his voice.

Her fears end up here.

I don't trust you to reuse it around me.

That's why it was too dangerous to get it out of the country as promised.

"I know... I agree with that even as far as I'm concerned... Your Highness... this place is still... well..."

Meltina opens her mouth with hesitation.

Lupis sensibly felt what he wanted to say out of her eyes.

"No, you can't. That's... no matter how much, that's not all!

Meltina remains silent on Lupis' denial.

Between the two, silence flowed.

Means Mertina didn't put into words.

Already it is the means proposed by the leaders, especially the nobles.

What is its means? Assassination.

If we do kill them, we don't have to worry about being recruited to another country, and we can sleep with our pillows high.

(I know that... but... it's not like he's attached to the enemy yet... he kept his promise to me. And yet I'm not thanking you, I'm rewarding you with his death? Besides......)

She was good and quite wise, for better or worse.

If she was stupid, she would have just left the country by honoring her promise to Liang Zhen.

If she was evil, she must have ordered her execution, ignoring promises made to the runners, etc.

I don't want to assassinate you because you won't be stained with evil.

I don't want to leave the country like this because I'm not stupid.

However, it is also difficult to recruit streamer mercenaries for knights.

And there's another reason why Lupis doesn't want to choose the means of assassination.

A reason to never put it on the table, hidden in the depths of her heart.

That's...

(If you choose to assassinate, can you consider him as a knight in this country? … if…… if I fail and they understand what I have commanded…)

Regardless, if you gather the strength of a country, you can discuss it without any problems, such as Ryojin Mitsuki.

There's no way an individual can beat a country.

But we may be able to escape.

Think calmly. The odds will be less than one in 10,000.

But definitely not.

And Ryo Michizai makes you feel something that might attract its potential.

As I made her king of this country...

(That man... never forgives me...)

Its fear binds the heart of Princess Lupis.

Concon

"I beg your pardon, Your Highness... Mr. Sudo" Sudo "has been seen. Can I let you through?

Lupis and Mertina.

The sound of the maid knocking on the door breaks the silence that descended between the two.

Meltina confirmed that Lupis nodded.

Let me through.

The door of the room opens at the same time as her voice, and Sudo comes in dressed in aristocratic clothing.

"Excuse me, Your Highness... oh? Something is bothering you. Don't... cloud your beautiful face like that. I'm sorry to bother you, but if I may, I can talk to you, okay? Princess Lupis...... No Your Majesty the New Queen"

He suddenly said so when he came in.

Originally, it's hard to say he's being polite.

"You! How disrespectful towards Your Highness!

Mertina pulled out the sword she lowered to her waist.

In this case, few people would attack her as short tempered.

Because Sudo's attitude is very difficult to say that he is very courteous towards the royalty.

"Put your sword away, Mertina... Sudo... you should be a little polite too. I'll take a big look this time, but there won't be any next, will there?

In the majestic words of Lupis, Sudo draped Kyou's head, Kobe.

Especially we understand each other that it is only form.

"Well good...... so what can I do for you today? I'm not free. Tell me the truth."

When Lupis gives Sudo permission to sit down, he cuts out without intermittent hair.

"Hey, I won't take much time. Your Highness seems to be having trouble handling it after the war, so I thought I'd take care of his worries, as soon as I got some time."

Meltina's eyebrows were frowned upon.

What does Lupis mean about her face? and looked up.

But even with her, I can't find a word on what to do, which is completely unexpected.

"Yes... that's comforting... but you know what I'm worried about? Sudo."

Lupis questioned Sudo in suspicion.

"Whatever. Anyone who sees something at all will notice it, rather than say... about Ryo Michizawa's true treatment, right?

To Sudo's words, Lupis pushes and kills agitation with utmost necessity.

It's not easy for her to be king of a nation to represent upset.

(No! No! No! Lupis! Don't let him see you through! Calm down... calm down!

"About what? Sudo."

Why did Lupis say that? and asks Sudo with his neck clenched.

Especially since such a desperate act of hers was, from Sudo's eyes, tantamount to a country play.

"Ho... did this yomi come off... so I'm not going to take any more of your busy highness's time"

Sudo lifted his hips when he said so.

The complexion of Meltina and Lupis changes.

"See you soon! Lord Sudo... Your Highness took the time to listen to you. What are you going to do with trying to go home on your own!

Meltina presses Sudo by allowing Tatsuta to drive.

"Huh? But if your troubles are related to the true treatment of your son Ryo Shiba... this makes no sense at all. I'm tempted to waste any more of your busy highness's time. I'm still free here."

It's an exceptional word, but it was an obvious fact, such as that it was false when you saw his expression.

He's making fun of the Lupis.

I would also like to hear Sudo's suggestion as Lupis.

Because it may lead to the current crackdown, which is a blockage.

But you can't admit that you are lost in the true treatment of Ryo Misaki.

"Right...... Sudo. I took the time because of you, and I'll just ask you. Talk to me."

Lupis commanded Sudo with his utmost vanity.

"Ha. Well, because of that,"

Sudo decided it was tidal time around here or let his hips sink into the couch again.

"Because of the above, it is very difficult to treat Ryo Mitsuzai truly. If he is a man loyal to the kingdom, he will also be able to enroll in knights, but that cannot be the case for him, a mercenary. That's why if we leave the country, there's a chance that another country will sign him up... and it could attack the Kingdom of Roselia at some point."

to Sudo's words. The two changed their complexions.

It's exactly what Sudo pointed out that they're worried about.

"A knight can't do it, he can't even get it out of the country. That's not why I'm going to kill you... if you kill a man who's done so much good, you're going to make a difference in the future."

Sudo cut off his words and caught a glimpse of Lupis' complexion.

(Hmm... did you have as much room as I thought? Well, there's no way this woman can see enough men crossing with Her Highness Chardina...)

His eyes coldly identify Lupis' abilities.

"Phew... so? How do you figure that out?

Lupis stopped pretending not to be interested.

I realized there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Sudo said with a grin.

"I can't do it to knights, I don't want to put it out to other countries either. Then you can be noble."

Lupis was stunned by his words.

That was the same with Mertina I was hearing beside her.

"Stupid... what are you talking about... civilians... mercenaries who don't know it's a horsebone anywhere... to nobility?

Sudo nodded at Mertina's words like squeezing them out.

"Don't be ridiculous!

Her anger echoes in the room.

"You can't possibly do that!... No, even if I could, nobility would never admit that! Who admits nobility out of the civilian population, etc! It's still more realistic to sign up for a knight!

Lupis had to snort at her words.

"And what about the receipt! Sharpen your direct jurisdiction?!?

It takes possession to make it aristocratic.

Either way, we can give you the possession of royalty or the nobility that we will crush in the next civil unrest.

But that doesn't strengthen the royal power.

On the occasion of the next civil unrest, Lupis wants the sovereignty of the state to be entirely his own.

For that matter, it is land above all else.

In order for the nobles to unite, the king and the knight alone will need more power than they can fight.

Combined with the sentiments of the nobles towards the civilian population, there could not have been a new choice to make Ryo Mitsuzai a nobleman.

But Sudo had their objections in mind.

He spreads a single map over the table over his pocket.

"What's this? Map of the eastern part of the Western continent?

Sudo nods at Lupis' words, pointing to a point on the map.

"I will make this place his possession. What do you say? There's no need to shred the direct jurisdiction here, no need to buy the antipathy of the nobles... and there's no need to worry about being weirdly powerful and rebellious here... isn't the title? It would be nice to have the lowest baron... Well, if it's just the size of your possession, you need a duke, but the place is the place."

Both Lupis and Martina lost their words to Sudo's words.

The land indicated by Sudo is vast.

It is also comparable to a tenth of all the Kingdom of Roselia.

It's such an outrage that I don't think it's sane to give this much possession to civilians.

But he was right. I could say zero fear of buying backlash from the nobles.

Because no one will want to take possession of the land...

"Waltenia Peninsula......"

A grunt leaks out of Lupis' mouth.

Again, Ryo Misaki, the circle of true destiny turned out.
